Hey, Drift here.

Brevity is the soul of wit and getting us the hell out of here, so I'll try to keep this to the point.

I've managed to speak to Remi, and now that I'm awake, I've been putting together what we already know. This deal with the orb, this 'phyllie' went awry, and now Remi has been feeding it immense arcane energy to keep up his end of the bargain. We all got a pretty good idea by now of how that's going.

I offered a possible solution, and it involves getting past that Sphynx and finding his body. The idea of offering something on our end to counteract the curse has been thrown around, and while Remi wasn't convinced it would work, he has expressed a willingness to try.

If you've seen me around, you've likely seen the greatsword strapped to my back. It's an artifact from Cybertron that siphons energy from my spark- the very essence of my life. Arguably you could call it my soul, but I doubt we want to waste time on a philosophical debate. My point is that energy can be channeled and redirected.

We juice Phyillie with pure, living energy and cross our fingers.

If that doesn't work, now would be an excellent time to develop plans B and C.

And

Remi gave me a parting gift that will help.

( ooc: please feel free to thread hop! )

Don't jump in front of the line. I'm genuinely surprised by the turn out, actually.

[droide]

What would I have to offer the orb? It feeds on magic, not computational data.

[aurable]

My spark isn't 'magic' but I see what you mean. Even if I worry you put it rather disparingly.

[droide]

Don't worry, I'm no showoff. I know I'm not going to be the star of every show.
Find me an orb that feeds on navigational charts and I'll give it a buffet.
I'm fine taking a back seat this time and doing what needs to be done to make sure you overpowered lunatics don't perish in your attempt at bargaining.

[aurable]

Something tells me you'd steal the show every time with the size of that personality you've got crammed in that little frame.
Thanks, L3.

[droide]

Don't mention it.

And Drift...
Don't die or anything. It would be totally inconvenient to have to dispose of a body as big as yours.

[aurable]

I promise you if I die that I'll shift to my alt mode. A corpse with wheels just for your convenience.

[droide]

If this is your way of saying, "I'll let you drive over my dead body," it's a bit off color.

[aurable]

Then do NOT ask me about the time we had to use the corpse of a ship as a means of escape.

[droide]

...Right. Not where I thought this conversation would go, but alright. I won't ask.

Just
Good luck.
